Chairman ManHee Lee is the head representative of the global peace organization HWPL (Heavenly Culture, World Peace, Restoration of Light), which is striving for the enactment and implementation of the international peace law 'Declaration of Peace and Cessation of War (DPCW)'. The DPCW is a legal instrument comprised of 10 articles and 38 clauses that can end wars and hostilities throughout the world. HWPL is also spreading a culture of peace and implementing peace education.
Chairman ManHee Lee experienced the cruelty and tragedy of war as a veteran of the Korean War. This is one of the reasons why he founded a global peace campaign as the head of HWPL. He has traveled the globe more than 35 times to meet and persuade politicians, legal experts, journalists, professors, peace activists, civil organization leaders, heads of tribes and others to unite them for the work of peace. The significant fruits borne out of his hard work are the World Alliance of Religions' Peace (WARP) Summit and HWPL Peace Committee. The DPCW was drafted and finalised by the HWPL Peace Committee.
How, you may wonder, do I know this? About 10 years ago, when I had just been discharged from military service, I came to know HWPL and Chairman ManHee Lee while researching the topic of civil conflicts to satisfy my curiosity in ongoing global issues. At that time, the island of Mindanao in the Philippines was suffering from a major civil conflict that lasted more than 40 years, and Chairman ManHee Lee and HWPL resolved this conflict through non-violent means.
Chairman Lee brought an end to the conflict in Mindanao by holding a peace talk between the warring Catholic and Islamic groups. Before the talk, HWPL and Chairman ManHee Lee held a Peace Walk to spread the culture of peace in Mindanao with the many locals who had gathered out of a desire for peace.
Chairman ManHee Lee's pressing appeal today is that humanity unites for sustainable peace in order to pass on the legacy of peace to future generations worldwide. He doesn't just talk peace, but has worked tirelessly for it through practical peace campaigns for over a decade.
I decided to become a supporter of HWPL and Chairman ManHee Lee's peace initiatives because I also desire a world of peace for all posterity.
Today I'd like to introduce an article regarding HWPL's donation event in Los Angeles, U.S.
HWPL Los Angeles Hosts Successful Food Drives for Compton City Seniors
International Peace Group Receives Over $13,000 Worth of Canned Food Donations
Heavenly Culture, World Peace, Restoration of Light (HWPL), an international peace non-governmental organization, hosted a food drive in Compton, California on February 3rd. This was the second of two food drives organized in the month of February by the HWPL Los Angeles Branch at the Dollarhide Community Center. The events aimed to help vulnerable members of the community by providing essential food supplies to seniors.
HWPL received overwhelming support from the community and managed to collect 6,913 canned food items, valued at $13,826, demonstrating the impact that collective action can have on addressing local needs. HWPL volunteers played a crucial role in distributing the donated items, dedicating their time and effort to ensure that every member of the community could benefit from the initiative.
Compton and Dollarhide Community officials expressed deep gratitude for HWPL’s commitment to serving the community and spreading a culture of peace. Mayor Emma Shariff shared her appreciation for HWPL’s ongoing peace initiatives by writing a heartfelt support letter and inviting HWPL to present the results of the food drive at a City Council meeting. The community’s support was further amplified by coverage through the television network, Univision, which broadcast the initiative to a wider audience, inspiring others to take action.
